HPE Office Connect Switch 1920s Configuration & VLAN Configuration | Configure Switch HPE 1920s

1.Place the switch close to the PC that will use for configuration. It helps if the user can see the front panel of the switch while working from the PC.

2.Connect power to the switch, and then start the PC (If it is not already running) and wait until the switch and PC have finished their start-up sequences.

3.Connect the PC to any port on the switch using a standard Ethernet LAN cable. Verify that there is a link between the switch and PC by checking the LEDs for the network port that are using.

4.If the switch has access to a DHCP service, it automatically acquires an IP address. Determine the IP address of the switch by examining the client IP address table on user's router (See the router documentation for how to get this information), or talk to user's ISP representative to get the IP address of the switch.

If a DHCP service is not available in user's network, or for some reason the switch does not acquire an IP address from the service, the switch defaults to IP address 192.168.1.1 after 120 seconds of automatically attempting to acquire an IP address.

NOTE: Alternatively, if the user cannot determine the switch’s IP address, user can force it to use the192.168.1.1 address by first disconnecting the switch from any router or internet connection and then unplugging and reconnecting power to it.

5.From the PC connected to the switch, open a Web browser session and enter the switch’s IP address as the URL. This opens the login screen for the switch’s Web browser interface from which the user perform the next steps.

6.Enter the default username “admin” and click Login to start a switch Web browser interface session. By default, there is no password.

7.To configure a password on the switch Web interface, click Maintenance Password Manager and enter the Current Password. Define a New Password and re enter it in the Confirm New Password field. Passwords can be up to 64 alpha numeric and special characters in length, and are case sensitive.

8.Click Apply to implement the new password, and then click Save Configuration at the top of the browser configuration screen to save user settings and retain them when the switch is rebooted.
